there was a marked drop-off for barack obama from john kerry in the panhandle of florida. what this tells us is that the voters, a certain type of voter that nationally has really turned on obama since 2008 had already turned on him before the 2008 election in florida. so there isn't as much room for romney to make progress there. so what romney's counting on is more sort of the tampa area and southwest florida, and that's balanced by the fact that as we said, there's been a remarkable increase in the number of hispanic voters on the rolls since 2008. lots of puerto rican voters coming in in jacksonville, orlando, a growing black population. if that counters the gains romney is making in the tampa area and southwest florida and romney's already maxed out in the panhandle, it's a toss-up. >> one thing that's clear to me is this show needs to get steve a telestrator john madden style. >> i'll take it. >> i am more pessimistic about florida. i don't think it's going to come together. it might be a one-point loss, i think very close. i just don't believe in my heart it's going
